RE: Compulsory Schooling, Where Self-Confidence and Independent Success are Cardinal Sins (A brief reflection from my time as a teacher).
Oh and one other point. Had the South acknowledge the immorality of slavery they could have actually come up with a solution we're by the slaves were freed in a methodical way over the course of a few months or maybe a year or two. If they had done that, they could have avoided the Civil War, and then we could have avoided hundreds of thousands of American deaths. Honestly, I think that would have been preferable. So actually, even though I think that in practice chattel slavery and conventional taxation are very different in terms of scale and should be approached differently in terms of response, if the South have been willing to take the approach that I'm suggesting towards public education Visa V slavery, a lot of unnecessary death and destruction could have been avoided

Of course the civil war could have been avoided. The civil war didn’t end slavery, anyway. Individuals that gave up owning slaves did.
Regardless, a slave owner saying, prior to the war, “I’m going to free my slaves” is a win, right?! Even if it was prior to everyone else being freed by the state in your “orderly” manner. Or is it your contention that they all should have waited to do so, until a consensus was reached?
See what I mean, or nah? It may be best for you to buzz around someone else’s blog for a bit.
